Biography
Melod Najah was a PFLP-GC fighter from Palestine, being based in Lebanon with other fedayeen fighters. On the night of 25 November 1987, Najah and Khaled Akar, equipped with AK-47s, silenced handguns, and handguns, flew engine-propelled gliders into Israel from Syrian-controlled territory in Lebanon. Akar was blinded by the Israel Defense Forces' searchlights and killed, but Najah killed the driver of an army truck and wounded the female passenger, threw grenades and sprayed assault rifle fire at Israeli soldiers in their tents, and killed five Israeli soldiers and wounded seven. The wounded IDF battalion cook shot Najah, ending his rampage in the camp.
